The data source option Single Statement must be checked.
The data source option With Schema must be unchecked when linking tables from Microsoft Access.
The data source option With Schema must be checked when importing data into Microsoft Excel by using Microsoft Query. This seems to be a bug in Query. It does not provide a list of tables, unless there is a schema returned from the metadata calls. Alternatively, in the Query options dialog, select System Tables.
The data source option Modify MetaData must be checked when exporting data from Microsoft Access into PointBase.
